Hey stranger. When you count wraps on a dual coil is it actual wraps of dual kanthal or total "coils"?The reomiser thread seems to have slowed down a lot lately with all the other bf attys around
So the parallel coil I shared last, is a winner in my eyes and to this point my favourite coil on the reomiser to date.
Tonight I decided to build the same coil, but with a 1.4mm ID to see what difference the ID will have on the vaping experience.
Parallel 28G, 1.4mm ID, 8 wraps. 0.5Ω
I will share some feedback after trying it out for a few days.
In the meantime, here is a pic or two

100% sense. Sorry actally a dumb question as your pics show this clear as day. Next question. If I generally enjoy about 0.9 to 1 ohm in a single coil what should I aim for in a dual? My ohm meter has stopped working so trying ti gauge how many wraps I should aim for. I have managed about 7wraps/14 coil dual but found the flavour a bit flat. Did another today that is about 5/10 and it seems better so wondered what would my ideal be concidering my preference on a single wrap.Hey Nat
It's the wraps of the dual coils if that makes sense ?
so 8 wraps is actually 16 in total but you count 1 wrap of the paralell wires as one wrap.
Lol this is confusing to type
Please let me know if this made no sense
To get a parallel coil in at a similar resistance with no more than 9 wraps, you're gonna need 32 g kanthal.100% sense. Sorry actally a dumb question as your pics show this clear as day.

Rob... I need a visit. Rayon, 32g and a Spa treatment... Rob's Reo Salon. If only my days were longer!!!!To get a parallel coil in at a similar resistance with no more than 9 wraps, you're gonna need 32 g kanthal.
This is a bit of a thumb suck as I'm not able to check online now but I would say about 7 wraps with 32g 2.0mm ID would come in around your ideal resistance.
If you don't have 32g, try bum some off @Rob Fisher. I know he has
What was the ID of the coil you wrapped where you said the flavour felt a bit flat?Rob... I need a visit. Rayon, 32g and a Spa treatment... Rob's Reo Salon. If only my days were longer!!!!

Give a 2.0mm a bash and let me know how you find it. 8 wraps on 28g should put you around .65/.67. Much lower than you're accustomed to but definitely worth a try.Was 1.5mm

So I picked up my drill today and had me some fun doing my first twisted coil
I first straightened the wires as per the video @Alex shared the other day and then proceeded to twist them.
The result?
twisted 28g, 7 wraps, 2MM id, 0.89Ω
The verdict:
I've never tried twisted coils before and I must say this has impressed me in the last few minutes I've vaped on it for.
The flavour is rich, and crisp!
It's a little noisy with a touch of spitting but nothing is coming up the drip tip.
It's not the type of coil that fires full steam immediately, but it's better for a slow, longer draw.
The vapour production is superb!
I have a feeling this could be a new favourite
That's a great looking coil @Yiannaki, I still enjoy using a twisted coil.
not all twisted coils work out but at least they look pretty nice coiling dude
just as a matter of interest and i may be in the wrong section here but here goes...
i decided to do a new coil on my RM2
twisted 28g kanthal
7 wraps
my test was this..
i wicked using rayon. instead of the usual tight fit i went for a much looser fit. the result. a very tight draw. flavour wasnt very rich and needed to squonk every 3 to 4 hits. vapor production was terrible. closer to cigarette smoke and every time i fired it would make popping sounds.
without changing the coil build, just removing the loose rayon and changed that out for the usual tighter fit, the result was back to normal.
nice airy draw. richer flavour. vape production was much better and no popping.
i redid this test a second time just to make sure of the result and it was identical.
im not sure what causes the major change but i know for sure it exists...
